#### Backporting a patch

We only accept backports of critical bugs, security issues, or bugs without easy workarounds, any
backport MUST not be breaking for either API or behavioral changes.
backport MUST not be breaking for either API or behavioral changes. In order to improve user/developer experience
maintainers can choose to backport:
- Doc improvements
- Improvements to CI signal
- Improvements to the test framework (enabling improvements to provider's test signal)
- Cert-manager bump (to avoid having branch using cert-manager versions out of support, when possible)
- Changes required to support new Kubernetes versions, when possible.

We generally do not accept PRs against older release branches.
